Gameplay (or most of Gameplay) needs to stop antagonizing marksmen players/mains

This is a quick post, but over the really questionable balance changes and accidents (Remember Graves, Twitch) and with the way Galio got scary, maybe Galio players too. The amount of people that view ADC players as evil and/or just mean is disgusting. The hate about Yasuo amounts almost nothing compared to the hate of ADCs and their players. Yes, the balance changes to ADCs and how agonizing ardent + support + ADC really does support this opinion on ADCs and their players. I wanna go more in depth on this subject but I don't have the time.

In short, anyone who plays marksmen is automatically pressured by the entire team to not be bad otherwise they get to be labelled as an ADC who either A. Cant go anywhere without the support (which is exactly what is supposed to happen for a marksmen) B. Will be antagonized for wanted the support with them or C. Both

NO i am not saying ADC's are never toxic, NOR am I saying marksmen are/aren't balanced. I am not sharing my opinion on those, and I wont be. The hidden discrimination of ADCs is disgusting and I think it should be toned down or just removed.

The thing is, in lane the support is there for the adc. That’s true.

Once lane is over the support is there for the team.

Now I will agree the pressure on adcs is unfair. Sometimes you have a bad game. Shit happens.

But the reason for the flak is because adcs are for whatever reason one of the most consistently powerful classes in the game. In many ways the game relies upon them not sucking in a way that just isn’t true for tops or mids outside of niche cases. That’s an issue with the game itself more than anything else.
